Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 273
Chapter 272: Deng Qin Deal
Qin Guo's wishful thinking was very loud, and he was sure that even if Deng Guo got the horse from Qin, it would be difficult to form an army in a few years. I am afraid that before Deng Guo's cavalry formed an army, Qin State would have already calmed down. , Started against Deng Guo.

But they don't know that Deng Sheng has a cheating device. As long as he has enough hegemony points, Deng Sheng can exchange for an elite cavalry training method at any time. When the Longxiang Guard was formed, Deng Sheng specially selected some elites To train riding skills, there are not a few people in Deng Guojun who can ride. In less than a year, Deng Guo can train a large number of cavalry, and Deng Guo is not without cavalry. Compared with Qin Zhaozhi cavalry, Long Xiangwei It is not in vain.

After Bailijin left Chang'an, he went all the way to the east. After arriving at Wuguan, he explained his purpose to Li Xiucheng, the general of Longwuwei who was stationed at Wuguan. After staying outside Wuguan for some time, he sent someone to report to Deng Sheng in Wancheng.

After receiving Li Xiucheng's letter, Deng Sheng was also very confused. Deng Guo had never had any contact with Qin State. This time, Qin State sent people here for no reason. , So he sent someone to send an order to Li Xiucheng, ordering him to let the envoy of Qin State enter the pass, and sent troops to escort him to Wancheng. In name, it was escort, but in fact it was surveillance.

When the messenger left Wancheng, Deng Sheng called Jiang Wan, Cui Hao, Su Hong, and Zhang Bin, four ministers, to discuss the matter.

In Qianyang Palace, Deng Sheng briefly explained the matter, and then asked a few people: "Masters, what do you think is the reason why Qin sent envoys here this time? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Everyone pondered for a long time, then Su Hong came out and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I don't think Qin's envoy this time is not a bad thing."

"What does Su Qing mean by that?" Deng Sheng asked.

Su Hong replied: "Your Majesty, think about it now that the Qin State has just pacified Guanzhong, and Guanzhong has experienced several years of war, the people's livelihood has declined, and Qin State is now too busy to take care of itself, how could it come to trouble me at this time? , but what is the specific matter, you need to meet the Qin envoy to know."

Deng Sheng nodded, and said: "Forget it, let's talk about it after seeing the envoy of Qin State, but I, Deng, have never had any contact with Qin State, and now Qin State is also the overlord, so we must not lose courtesy in this reception. After you go down, discuss the reception with the Ministry of Rites, and you must not be rude!"

"Here!" Jiang Wan replied.

On the fifth day of August in the 18th year of Qianyuan, Qin State envoy Bailijin and his party arrived in Wancheng, and Chen Qun, Minister of Rites, personally received them.

In the posthouse of the Ministry of Rites in Wancheng, Chen Qun accompanied Bailijin into the posthouse. Chen Qun said to Bailijin: "Doctor Baili, please rest at the posthouse first, and my king will return to Jingyang in three days." In the next few days, I will personally accompany Dr. Baili to visit the scenery of Wancheng."

Bailijin nodded with a smile, and said: "Then I'll have to thank Shangshu Chen. I have lived in Xiliang for a long time, and I am also very yearning for the scenery of Nanyang. I need to take a good tour."

In the next few days, Chen Qun led a group of officials from the Ministry of Rituals to accompany the Qin State Mission to visit the scenery inside and outside Wan City. The etiquette was even more grand than that of the Chu State back then.

On the eighth day of the eighth day of August in the 18th year of Qianyuan, Baili entered the Jingyang Palace, the main political hall of the Deng Kingdom.

"Foreign Minister Daqin Censor Bailijin pays homage to King Deng!" Bailijin saluted Deng Sheng.

"You don't need to be too polite!" Deng Sheng smiled and waved his hands.

Bai Lijin got up and said: "Qin and Deng are both great countries in the world. My king thought that we should work together, so I sent foreign ministers to build good-neighborly friendship with your country. The foreign ministers came this time, and my king also prepared some things. The small gifts are all special products of Xiliang and Guanzhong, I hope King Deng will accept them with a smile!"

Deng Sheng nodded, and said: "King Qin has a heart, and when your honor returns to Chang'an, I will prepare a generous gift in return for King Qin."

"Thank you, King Deng!" Baili Jin thanked, "Actually, the foreign ministers who came this time were entrusted by my king to make a deal in your country." After exchanging pleasantries, Baili Jin also began to enter topic.

"Finally into the topic!" Deng Sheng said secretly, then straightened his face, and said: "I don't know what my eldest Deng has that the King of Qin needs, but it doesn't matter, I have admired the King of Qin for a long time, as long as my eldest Deng can get it If you come out, you will definitely not refuse."

Baili Jin said: "Then thank you, King Deng. In fact, this is the case. Guanzhong has been fighting for years, a lot of good fields have been abandoned, and the grain harvest has failed. For the sake of the people in Guanzhong, my king sent foreign ministers to Wancheng. I hope to buy a batch of grain to help the people in Guanzhong.”

"This..." Deng Sheng pretended to be suspicious: "My lord, the plight of your country is also known to everyone, but in recent years, my big Deng has also consumed a lot of money and food, and I am afraid it will be difficult to sell surplus food to your country. "

Of course, Bailijin knew that Deng Sheng would not agree so easily, but Bailijin was confident that as soon as Qin State's bargaining chip was offered, Deng Guojun and his ministers would definitely not refuse, so he smiled and said: "My king also I know that your country is not rich in food, but for the sake of the people in Guanzhong, my king is willing to exchange war horses for food, and I hope that King Deng can remember the hardships of the people in Guanzhong and agree to this transaction."

"Boom!" As soon as Bailijin said this, it exploded in the hearts of Deng Guojun and his ministers like a thunderstorm in an instant. War horses are the most scarce thing in Deng Guo. Since Deng Sheng ascended the throne, 20 years have passed. Zhou Zhang only formed [-] dragon guards after strenuous efforts. Why did Deng Sheng not dare to intervene in the battle of the Central Plains? It was not because he was afraid of Zhao Guo’s cavalry. There are so many countries, even if you sell a batch to Qin, you can recover in an instant when the autumn harvest comes, but important strategic materials such as war horses will be gone if you miss them.

Although he was very eager for war horses, Deng Sheng still suppressed the excitement in his heart, so he said: "Well, it's for the people in Guanzhong. No matter how difficult it is for the widows, I have to squeeze out a batch of food. The specific matters are as follows: The Shangshu ordered Jiang Wan and the Zhongshu ordered Cui Hao to discuss with the honorable master, I wonder what the honorable master thinks?"

Bailijin knew that it was impossible for Deng Guo to refuse the temptation of the war horse, so he smiled and said: "Thank you, King Deng, for the success of the minister. On behalf of the people in Guanzhong, I thank King Deng!"

Deng Sheng waved his hand, and said with a dignified look: "Some small things are nothing to worry about, as long as they can help the people in Guanzhong get out of the predicament, everything is worth it."

It has to be said that Deng Sheng has become a movie star after years of being in a high position.

After the disintegration of the dynasty, Jiang Wan and Cui Hao negotiated with Bailijin on behalf of Deng Guo. After several days of bargaining, Qin finally exchanged 20 war horses for Deng Guo's 500 million shi grains. Wanshi's food is a bit painful, but it is worth it to get 500 horses. With 20 horses and the original cavalry, Deng Guo can completely form a 20 cavalry. Don't be so passive.

The same is true for Qin. Although 20 war horses emptied half of Qin's war horses at once, Qin is close to the grassland. As long as the price is high, it is relatively easy to obtain war horses. 20 war horses will come back in a few years. It has little impact on the cavalry of Qin State. After all, the current cavalry of Qin State has 10,000+. Even if the horses are kept, it is impossible to form new cavalry with the current national strength of Qin State.It still needs to consume a lot of materials to support the war horses. It is better to exchange the war horses for the food that Qin needs most, but it will not take long for Qin to pay the price for today's decision.

With 20 horses at once, Deng Guo can expand the Longxiang Guard to 5 people, and can also form another cavalry unit. Among the generals of Deng Guo, the happiest is the Longxiang Guard General Qin Lie Like the two generals in Longxiangwei, Luo Cheng and Zhang Hao, after the expansion of the cavalry, Longxiangwei will no longer have to perform some raids and partial division tasks in the future, but can be the main force on the battlefield. Cavalry versus the battlefield.
